used, including clay, wax, stone, metal,
fabric, glass, wood, plaster, rubber, and
random “found” objects.

APPRECIATING THE
ARTS
HOW CAN IT BE APPLIED?
HOW?
1. Give a good physical description of the artwork based
on their knowledge of art elements and materials
2. Analyze the artwork in terms of what the artist wants his
work to represent and the learner’s subjective reaction to
the works which includes their thoughts and feelings
3. Perceive the art work in the context of its history. This would enlighten the learners of
the artist’s intention in doing the work and add to the understanding of the meaning the
work is supposed to convey
4. Give meaning to the artwork based on its
description, analysis and context
5. Judge the artwork as to whether it is good or bad based on the
learner’s perception of it and its aesthetic and cultural value.
Art is meant to stimulate thought because it allows viewers to draw
their own emotions and pull from their personal experiences when
viewed.
It is very powerful in this way and it naturally develops critical and
innovative thinking skills.
Art also teaches many important qualities such as listening,
observing, and responding to multiple perspectives.
It is meant to express something that we ourselves feel unable to
express or convey.
Art appreciation stimulates thought and analysis, provokes an
individual to look past what meets the eye and open our mind to the
views of others.

REPRESENT NOT THE
OUTWARD APPEARANCE OF
THINGS, BUT THEIR INWARD
